Feroz Khan does not attend the Madlanga Commission hearing again and instead sends lawyers to represent him. The matter is framed as part of ongoing proceedings related to evidence and document access.
In parallel, evidence leaders at the commission launch a bid to keep Khan’s key WhatsApp communications out of the public eye. Coverage indicates the dispute focuses on whether specific messaging content should be publicly disclosed or restricted while the commission considers the testimony and related material. Other reporting highlights that the commission continues to deal with procedural issues, including the presence or participation of witnesses and the treatment of electronic communications.
Overall, outlets agree on Khan’s continued non-appearance and the involvement of his legal representatives, as well as the commission’s attempt to prevent certain WhatsApp messages from becoming public. The differences lie mainly in emphasis—some focus on Khan’s attendance, while others underline the evidence-access and privacy arguments raised during the hearing.
